# 0. Caching dependencies
|
||||
Date: 2022-04-13
|
||||
|
||||
Status: Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
# Context
|
||||
`actions/setup-go` is the one of the most popular action related to Golang in GitHub Actions. Many customers use it in conjunction with [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) to speed up dependency installation process.
|
||||
See more examples on proper usage in [actions/cache documentation](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md#go---modules).
|
||||
|
||||
# Goals & Anti-Goals
|
||||
Integration of caching functionality into `actions/setup-go` action will bring the following benefits for action users:
|
||||
- Decrease the entry threshold for using the cache for Go dependencies and simplify initial configuration
|
||||
- Simplify YAML pipelines because there will be no need for additional steps to enable caching
|
||||
- More users will use cache for Go so more customers will have fast builds!
|
||||
|
||||
We don't pursue the goal to provide wide customization of caching in scope of `actions/setup-go` action. The purpose of this integration is covering ~90% of basic use-cases. If user needs flexible customization, we should advice them to use `actions/cache` directly.
|
||||
|
||||
# Decision
|
||||
- Add `cache` input parameter to `actions/setup-go`. For now, input will accept the following values:
|
||||
- `true` - enable caching for go dependencies
|
||||
- `false`- disable caching for go dependencies. This value will be set as default value
|
||||
- Cache feature will be disabled by default to make sure that we don't break existing customers. We will consider enabling cache by default in next major releases
|
||||
- Action will try to search a go.sum files in the repository and throw error in the scenario that it was not found
|
||||
- The hash of found file will be used as cache key (the same approach like [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md#go---modules) recommends)
|
||||
- The following key cache will be used `${{ runner.os }}-go${{ go-version }}-${{ hashFiles('<go.sum-path>') }}`
|
||||
- Action will cache global cache from the `go env GOMODCACHE` and `go env GOCACHE` commands.
|
||||
- Add a `cache-dependency-path` input parameter to `actions/setup-go`. The new input will accept an array or regex of dependency files. The field will accept a path (relative to the repository root) to dependency files. If the provided path contains wildcards, the action will search all matching files and calculate a common hash like the ${{ hashFiles('**/go.sum') }} YAML construction does.

# Example of real use-cases
|
||||
|
||||
- With cache
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
|
||||
with:
|
||||
go-version: '18'
|
||||
cache: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- With cache-dependency-path
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
|
||||
with:
|
||||
go-version: '18'
|
||||
cache: true
|
||||
cache-dependency-path: **/go.sum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
|
||||
with:
|
||||
go-version: '18'
|
||||
cache: true
|
||||
cache-dependency-path: |
|
||||
**/go.sum
|
||||
**/go.mod
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Release process
|
||||
|
||||
As soon as functionality is implemented, we will release minor update of action. No need to bump major version since there are no breaking changes for existing users.
|
||||
After that, we will update [starter-workflows](https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows/blob/main/ci/go.yml)
